# A Letter to All Miners and Cryptocurrency Community Members

The cryptocurrency sphere reveres BTC as supreme, and BTC is founded upon hashpower. NAT coin, as the companion mining asset of Bitcoin, shares the same hashpower, chain, block, and wallet address as BTC—this is treasure bestowed by heaven, inheriting BTC's royal bloodline, as a crown prince ascending to the throne, commanding universal allegiance. All BTC holders must necessarily achieve consensus on NAT; this is an ironclad law of the crypto sphere, beyond dispute.

Yet Antpool, bearing the heavy trust of miners, should fulfill its duties faithfully and safeguard miners' assets. The NAT coins it holds are earned through the diligent mining efforts of all miners—wealth crystallized from miners' blood and sweat, sacred and inviolable. The mining pool bears only fiduciary responsibility, possessing absolutely no authority to dispose of these assets arbitrarily.

Now Antpool CEO Zhou Zhenbao, disregarding professional ethics and trampling the legal baseline, amid management ideological conflicts and internal fragmentation, has privately sold off the miners' companion mining assets of Bitcoin—DMT-NAT coins! According to reliable sources, he has again dumped 400 billion coins, a sum of such magnitude as to be outrageous. His Telegram account @Andy9527z has become evidence of the crime of plundering miners' blood and sweat.

Such conduct violates law, defies reason, and is morally unforgivable!

From a legal perspective: This is naked theft and embezzlement. China's Civil Code explicitly stipulates that the lawful private property of citizens is protected by law, and it is prohibited for any organization or individual to encroach upon, seize, or destroy it. Article 270 of the Criminal Law further specifies that unlawfully converting to one's own use property entrusted to another for safekeeping, if the amount is substantial and one refuses to return it, constitutes the crime of embezzlement. Zhou Zhenbao, without board resolution and without miners' authorization, arbitrarily disposed of NAT assets belonging to the collective miners, pocketing massive proceeds or misappropriating them for other uses—he is suspected of committing the crime of occupational embezzlement. Although virtual currency-related business activities are classified as illegal financial activities, the property rights and interests underlying derivative assets obtained by miners through hashpower expenditure cannot be illegally stripped away. No organization or individual may encroach upon others' lawful property in any form.

From a moral perspective: Miners operate machines day and night, expending electricity and bearing risk; the NAT coins nurtured within their meager earnings are crystallized blood and sweat. Zhou Zhenbao, as the helmsman of the mining pool, instead of repaying miners' trust, engages in self-theft and corruption, treating miners as lambs for slaughter. Such betrayal of trust and reversal of righteousness marks him as an industry disgrace! As the ancients said: "A gentleman loves wealth and acquires it through righteous means." Yet Zhou the thief loves wealth and acquires it through larceny—how is he different from a common thief?

NAT coin carries BTC consensus and its value is immeasurable. For his own selfish gain, Zhou Zhenbao recklessly dumps coins, not only embezzling miners' property but maliciously crashing the price, damaging the interests of all holders. His conduct is despicable, his heart worthy of condemnation!

Hereby I issue this proclamation, solemnly warning Zhou Zhenbao:

Immediately rein in at the cliff's edge, cease all sales at once, return all embezzled NAT assets, and apologize to miners everywhere! Should you persist in your delusion, all miners will unite, report to judicial authorities, lodge complaints with regulatory agencies, and exhaust every legal remedy to recover our blood-and-sweat assets, subjecting you to legal judgment and nailing you to the wall of shame in the crypto sphere!

All Antpool miners, all righteous members of the cryptocurrency community, take action!

Demand Zhou Zhenbao (@Andy9527z) return the NAT that belongs to us!

Restore our blood and sweat, punish the thief!
